“Increased environmental legislation or regulation, including regulations related to extended producer responsibility ("EPR") and pollution mitigation funds, could result in higher costs for us in the form of payments under EPR programs, higher raw material costs, increased energy and freight costs, new taxes on packaging products which could reduce demand for our products, and result in increased litigation.”

“Legislative and regulatory activity relating to plastic packaging, recycling, waste management, and EPR programs has increased in many jurisdictions and is expected to continue evolving. Such developments may result in product bans or restrictions on certain packaging formats or materials or could impose additional compliance obligations, taxes, fees, or investment requirements and/or operational adjustments, and could result in increased costs, litigation, penalties, reputational harm, unplanned capital expenditures or other liabilities that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.”

“Government bans of, or restrictions on, certain materials or packaging formats may close off markets to Amcor's business. For example, governmental authorities in the U.S., Europe and in other countries have become increasingly focused on the contamination of soil, air, and water exacerbated by the use of non-degradable chemicals, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"). Various U.S. states have implemented, or are in the process of implementing, laws to restrict the use of PFAS in various applications, including in packaging materials or production processes. While we believe we are in compliance with existing regulations, the cost of compliance in the future to modify our products or production processes may be significant and adversely impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.”

“A substantial amount of our label materials is sold for use in packaging in the food, beverage, and home and personal care market segments. In recent years, there has been an accelerated focus on sustainability and transparency in sustainability reporting, with greater concern regarding climate change and single-use plastics, corporate commitments and increasing stakeholder expectations regarding the reuse and recyclability of plastic packaging and recycled content, and increased regulation in multiple geographies regarding the collection, recycling and use of recycled content. Changes in consumer preferences, laws and regulations related to the use of raw materials and extended producer responsibility rules focused on the end-of-life of products, particularly in Europe and certain states in the United States, present the risk of reduced demand for certain of our products if customers seek decoration technology alternatives to pressure-sensitive labeling, but also the opportunity for increased demand for our more sustainable products, a significant focus of our research and development and related innovation efforts.”

“System för utökat producentansvar (Extended Producer Responsibility – EPR), som lägger ansvaret för avfallet från produkter och förpackningar på företagen, utgör en ökande finansiell risk. Avgifter kopplade till det utökade producentansvaret (EPR-avgifter) varierar beroende på region och material, där engångsplast och icke återvinningsbara material är förenade med högre kostnader. Nyligen genomförda höjningar av EPR-avgifterna, breddningen av det utökade producentansvaret till nya produktkategorier (till exempel textilier), Boozts prognostiserade verksamhetstillväxt samt det nära förestående införandet av förordningen PPWR (Packaging Waste Regulation) med sina strängare mål, är alla faktorer som pekar på väsentliga kostnadsökningar.”
